Ilyashev & Partners’ International Trade team, under the supervision of Partner Olena Omelchenko, initiated the reconsideration by the Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade (ICIT) of definitive anti-dumping measures on imports to Ukraine of seamless stainless steel pipes originating in the People’s Republic of China due to the expiration of the current anti-dumping measures.
Ilyashev & Partners Law Firm represents the interests of one of Europe’s largest specialized Ukrainian manufacturers of seamless stainless steel pipes – PrJSC Centravis Production Ukraine.
Ilyashev & Partners’ International Trade team has collected and submitted sufficient evidence to the Commission that Chinese manufacturers of seamless stainless steel pipes have sufficient export potential, which indicates the likelihood of a significant increase in the volume of dumped exports to the Ukrainian market. Based on the results of considering the complaint of the national producer, the ICIT adopted a decision to review the definitive anti-dumping measures, aiming to support fair competition on the Ukrainian market, which took effect on December 20, 2025.
For the first time within the framework of such a review of anti-dumping measures, Ilyashev & Partners’ International Trade team also succeeded in initiating a review of the voluntary price undertaking of the foreign producer Longda Steel Group Co., Ltd, which exempts it from the application of the definitive anti-dumping measures.
Thus, the anti-dumping measures for Chinese manufacturers at the rate of 41.07%, imposed by the ICIT’s decision dated November 27, 2014, No. AD-326/2014/4421-06, regarding imports of seamless stainless steel pipes originating in China into Ukraine, have been extended until the Commission adopts a new decision based on the results of the review.
PrJSC Centravis Production Ukraine is one of the largest high-tech manufacturers of seamless stainless steel pipes in Europe, located in Ukraine, which is part of the international Centravis Group and ranks among the world’s top 10 manufacturers. The company supplies its products to global leaders in the automotive, energy, and chemical industries.
